New Housing Subdivision for Saulteaux First Nation

Official title: Saulteaux First Nation Subdivision Development

Closed Environmental Assessment Housing & Communities Indigenous & Northern
Saulteaux First Nation wants to build 28 new housing lots on their reserve in Saskatchewan. The project includes roads, underground utilities, and a new sewage pumping station. The site is currently pasture land about 3 km south of the community centre.

Why This Matters

This project addresses housing needs in an Indigenous community. For Saulteaux First Nation members, it means more homes closer to home. It's also an example of how First Nations are developing their own infrastructure.

What Could Change

If approved, construction would create 28 new residential lots with full services. A new sewage pumping station would be built. Current pasture land would be converted to housing.

Key Issues

  • Will the subdivision adequately address community housing needs?
  • What are the environmental impacts of converting pasture land?
  • Is the waste management plan adequate for construction and operation?

Indigenous Consultation

This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
